The Death of Yellow
It was a sad evening in the josabry household yesterday as the couple bid a final farewell to the last of the yellow in their kitchen. The countertop and backsplash were removed at five minutes after nine, after a great deal of unscrewing, keyhole sawing, and rocking back and forth.
The demise of the countertop was not a painless one. The countertop proved to be made of solid wood underneath its cheap yellow top, and thus very heavy. At one point in its removal, it cracked into two pieces, the smaller of which fell upon josabry, injuring her mildly in several places. Mr. josabry, left holding the rest of the countertop, staggered back and stumbled into the kitchen island, straining his neck. Fortunately, the josabries are resilient (read:stupid) enough to ignore pain, and the countertop now rests on the front porch in preparation for final burial at the municipal dump.
It should be noted that hidden behind the backsplash was an Irish blessing. It was immediately decided by the josabries that the blessing should remain in the kitchen.
Mr.josabry then set out for a night on the town, and josabry attacked the unbelievably gross, stained wall now exposed. She dug for about an hour, chipping away drywall and plaster, digging down about an inch and a half to the brick wall underneath. Then, exhausted, emotionally and physically, she decided to rest.
Farewell, yellow kitchen. We will miss you....
